Where did you hear that? You're saying the 4 releases are the same image in 4 different colours?

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by topper on Mar 24, 2023 7:54:39 GMT 1, Say this on the website. Doesn't specifically say there will be four colour ways but as this is called 'Middle Finger In Red' probably will be the colours that change. it's only a 2 colour screen also.
"Middle Finger in Red will be available to order for 24 hours only on Thursday 30 March. The radial composition โ created specially for the edition and printed in two layers โ references the raised middle finger which defines Aiโs seminal series, Study of Perspective.
Begun in 1995, the series asserts the importance of our collective freedom to form, hold and express individual beliefs. For almost 20 years Ai has reprised Study of Perspective at sites of power worldwide, prompting a tide of recreations by members of the public. To him, the power of a simple gesture is that anyone can make it.
The 24 hour edition marks the opening of a landmark exhibition of new and archival works by Ai Weiwei at the Design Museum in London โ the first of four limited edition artworks conceived in tandem with the show. Proceeds will support the museumโs future."

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Avant Arte on Mar 27, 2023 14:05:31 GMT 1, Hi all! Just to answer some questions you raised here. The โMiddle Finger in Redโ print edition will be the only time-limited edition from the collaboration with Ai Weiwei and the Design Museum, available to all for 24hrs only. Itโs meant to be the most accessible of our upcoming editions with Weiwei. The other editions will be different from this release in a few key ways: they will be limited in nature with set edition sizes and will showcase a range of complex print-making techniques as well as one sculpture edition. Weโll be sharing more information as we release them over the course of the Design Museumโs exhibition, Ai Weiwei: Making Sense which runs from 7 April - 27 July.

I'm guessing at $444 that means the cheapest. His recent Cat editions seem to have a resale price of around ยฃ500-700 so interesting to see where the limited editions are priced.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Londown 01 on Mar 28, 2023 20:22:25 GMT 1,
The more I see it, the less I like it.
But then I just found this plate, which has the same motive:
www.fairart.io/artworks/ai-weiwei/1358/artist-plate-project-2021-(ai-weiwei)/47661
Can anybody help me out: has this been used by Ai Weiwei before? For a print? So is this just recycling some old motive with very little creativity involved?

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by robo on Mar 28, 2023 20:33:34 GMT 1, You can see that the Avant Art post above very carefully doesnโt deny there will be more colourways of this same print, and indeed Design Museum have confirmed that there will be. Personally I think itโs somewhat disingenuous not to make this clear to everyone at the outset. But it worked for Cats, where he released 3 colourways at different times, sizes and price points without anyone knowing for sure what had come or was coming.

Even if that's true, it's would be much worse if they released the limited edition first and then dropped the timed edition of the same image for a fraction of the price. |

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Avant Arte on Mar 29, 2023 13:24:41 GMT 1, All of the editions are new artworks by Ai Weiwei. The upcoming time-limited edition does incorporate the middle finger motif synonymous with Weiwei and one he has historically used across different mediums and compositions.
We donโt want to give away too much detail on the rest, but of the upcoming three limited prints, only one uses the middle finger motif (combined with new printing techniques) while the other two limited prints and sculpture will use completely different art works.

Never really like Weiwei, pretty exploitative person imo. But he has a strong fan base, almost like a cult isn't it? Paying Weiwei taxes while the guys travels the world and sell merchandising and stuff at 3-digits-and-plus, ahaha!

I can confirm that there are not three colourways for the Middle finger but the works do resolve around the same theme. The full details will be share in the coming weeks
Upcoming limited editions full of hands and fingers....
Higher price and surely not easy to get.
